## What is DroneDAA by uAvionix?

DroneDAA gives drone operators, pilots, and airspace safety professionals real-time situational awareness — right from their iPhone or iPad.

Live Drone Detection
DroneDAA picks up FAA Remote ID broadcasts from nearby drones using Bluetooth, displaying each drone's position, altitude, speed, heading, and operator location on the map in real time. No internet required for local detection.

Live Aircraft Traffic
Connect to a portable ADS-B receiver to see manned aircraft positions, callsigns, altitudes, and velocities — the same data used by professional ground stations.

FAA Airspace Layers
Display Class B, C, D, and E airspace boundaries, TFRs, restricted and prohibited areas, and obstructions directly on the map. Know your airspace at a glance.

Proximity Alerts
Configurable caution and warning rings notify you when aircraft or drones enter your defined range and altitude thresholds. Alerts escalate with audio tones and haptic feedback so you never miss a conflict.

skyAlert Integration
Connected to a uAvionix skyAlert? Sync your alert thresholds, adjust traffic alarm range, altitude, volume, and LED brightness — all from within the app.

Aviation-Grade Map
Built on Apple MapKit with satellite and hybrid views. Range rings, velocity vectors, and operator position lines give you full situational context at a glance.

Weather
Current conditions, wind, visibility, and minute-by-minute precipitation forecasts powered by Apple WeatherKit. Weather alerts keep you informed of changing conditions.

Offline Capable
Download topo map tiles and FAA airspace data for your area. Remote ID scanning works entirely via Bluetooth with no internet connection required.

Built for the Field
Dark theme optimized for outdoor use. Designed for drone pilots, manned aircraft pilots, airport operations, and airspace safety professionals.
